For cp3, 2 first round picks, and 2 pick swaps.

Presti is loading up on picks.

Cp3, just got shit on.

This has to be the craziest off season ever. The amount of star players changing team and the amount of assets given up to get them. I'm quite glad we're staying back and waiting for the dust to settle.

OKC now have a plethora of 1st round picks and can still be relatively competitive with Paul / SGA / Gallinari and Adams.

[GymRat [enjin:6592663]]

The value of those picks on their own isn't a lot, but to rid yourself of that Paul contract relative to age... that's the blessing, and the price, for Houston.

Also, Chris Paul deserves this. In the least positive way.

Would OKC be okay with trading paul to the wiz for wall and a 1st? Gets them off the wall contract and gives Beal a real PG.

OkC gonna be kicking major ass in 3 years.

I think presti is going to take anyone on short term deals if he gets a first.

Dieng and a future first (or Okogie) for Gallinari? or maybe a package for adams?

[crazy-canuck [enjin:18955461]]

i also think Riley messed up again.

he didnt want to part with anything to get jimmy,so they missed the playoffs and then paid that for jimmy a year later.

he didnt want to pay for westbrook, so he missed out again.

They are hoarding picks and adams will not be a salary dump.
